@KittKatt look behind you when you run its hard in the beginning but you whil learn. Try jump Windows and attempt to make it a loop
good perks to use ins deadhard
descisice strike. Self care BUT it Can loose you the game if you always heal instead doing gens. Quick and quiet decent not great.

As others have pointed out, your friends should really be playing custom games with you to help you learn the basics. While I empathize with the frustration of anyone new to this game, they shouldn't have pulled you into high-ranked play right away.

Like everyone said try to run loop I normally just called it run lap and take the killer far away. Run a build that best fit your playstyle. Each killer has their strength and weaknesses. Be careful with some of them like the huntress she can snipe from long distance and the shape can stalk you until he build up to tier 3 getting a one hit shot.

I am afraid that's wrong, you need to learn the ropes like everyone else.
So play some custom games so you learn how to play rather thsn trying to have your friends bully newbies

@DBDbuildsYT You're afraid WHAT is wrong? That I bought this game to play with friends? That they can derank to play with me? That they can make alt accounts? Your statement of "I am afraid that's wrong" and tagging my whole statement is quite vague. I would love for you to elaborate.

It's wrong that you expect an entire game and other people to comply with your desire.
You want to play with friends? God play without destroying the experience of another new player.
It will take weeks for you to learn dbd, it's a long game

As others mentioned Kitt, you should really be playing killer at this point. You'll learn a lot, and will be a lot more prepared for survivor because of it.
Also i think an argument could be made that your friends are kind of jerks for throwing u to red rank wolves when u still aren't really sure what you're doing. It's gonna take time to get comfortable w everything.

As I stated before, with the few hours I have in the game and looking at other posts and watching a handful of twitch streams i have come to the conclusion that no one cares if anyone else is having fun. One streamer said "I paid for the game and I will face camp because im having fun, i dont care about the survivor on the hook". So while you may say it's wrong, for me and for my friends wanting to play together, it makes sense. Those rank 1 killers knew i was a baby and still slugged and tunneled me off the hook. I feel like this game should be enjoyable but it's just bickering on both sides as to "whats fair" No one is right. No solution is optimal. I have 14 hrs in the game. I assure you i'm an easy kill for anyone with eyeballs at any rank.

@53nation I will start playing killer when I have free time but like I said, I have limited time and bought this game to play with my friends a few days after Stranger Things, so before the SWF matchmaking changes. Had I known my options were to 1. get queued against rank 1 spirit with your friends or 2. play solo I would of never bought the game. I agree they shouldnt of expected me to do well against seasoned killers, but I guess i wanted to do something with them. My schedule is busy and I don't much time to spend with my friends so playing this together was very appealing. I just didnt expect the change and it to ruin the game for me.

The killers only seem strong because you're new. Stick with it a while and you'll start to do a lot better as you get practice.

Some advice for climbing the solo ranks:
1) Do generators. The biggest reason why killers destroy lobbies filled with new players is because the survivors do literally nothing. You've seen this, because you said people commonly just hide and let you die on the hook. The best way to carry new players and get out of those ranks is to get comfortable with being brave and doing the objectives. Basic survival gets easier once you're past, like, rank 14, because survivors start learning how to actually play the game.
2) Keep an eye out for the killer at all times. And run WHEN YOU KNOW THE KILLER HAS SPOTTED YOU, not then they're closing in. Your best weapon against the killer is distance, so don't surrender it when you know a chase is inevitable.
3) Play Kate Denson, and use her Windows of Opportunity perk. It will help you learn where pallets and vault points are.
4) Play some matches as killer so that you understand what they see and what their limitations are. Knowing the killer's blind spots (animations they're locked into, lack of peripheral vision, etc.) is useful.

Who exactly are you angry at and what do you expect to accomplish with this thread? So many people have offered you advice but you're pushing them away and insisting to play with your friends. I don't think you can honestly claim to care about other people's fun after what you've said but you demand that high rank killers give you special treatment so you can have fun. You say you don't have time to learn the game. The "Custom Game" mode would have been just fine then but you ignore that suggestion. DBD is a PVP game and you can't expect to just jump in and win all the time. Maybe a different game might be more up your alley.

@Avocet Where did I DEMAND killers give me special treatment so I can have fun? Maybe you are reading what you want to and not what I actually said. Also I said in a previous post "I will take the advice and try to get better, thank you for the suggestions" Maybe you didnt see that. I started leveling claudette, as suggested. I bought Kate for the windows perk, as suggested. I'm not mad, at all. I still dont feel I should be punished for wanting to play with friends. Going against rank 1 killers isn't fun with less than 20 hrs. in the game. Not sure killing me is quite a challenge for them either, I guess people aren't interested in challenges anymore. They want an easy win. I played games tonight and we got killers that were around rank 12 and I actually got to play. I never expected to win (please show me where I said that or anything you are claiming), I expected to play, level up and learn. Sitting in custom games all night isn't fun for anyone and I can't earn blood points so I never level up and i'm still SOL. But no, DBD is fine for me but thank you for your suggestion of playing a different game.

@Avocet You made the suggestion (I believe) that my friends get alt accounts. They were going to do that but they felt that being at rank 20 would be not fair to the killer. So they de-ranked out of red ranks. I am taking suggestions, i just didn't announce everything I did. I played some killer this evening after work, played 2 trapper games and a huntress game. Trapper games everyone died, huntress I killed one. We played 2 custom games and I learned ruin was terrible. I got a basic idea of shack and loops but i still throw pallets too early cause im learning looking behind me. They sent me a skillcheck simulator to practice (cause im not the greatest at it). I hope they come up with a better solution to matchmaking than throwing babies that want to learn in with high ranked killers if the friends are high rank. I dont want my friends to constantly derank to play with me.

Ok, I'll be more specific then and do this with quotes.
1. "Where did I DEMAND killers give me special treatment so I can have fun?"
Let's look at this statement:
"I still dont feel I should be punished for wanting to play with friends. Going against rank 1 killers isn't fun with less than 20 hrs. in the game. Not sure killing me is quite a challenge for them either, I guess people aren't interested in challenges anymore. They want an easy win."
Also:
" I dont feel its fair for me, as a new survivor to be punished by red ranked spirits who leave everyone on the ground simply because i want to play and learn from my friends"
You CHOSE to play against rank 1 killers as a beginner. You CHOSE a CHALLENGE but then you don't want the logical consequences of this choice. The killer didn't choose to play against a beginner survivor and is probably playing normally. That's what I call demanding special treatment.
2. "Also I said in a previous post "I will take the advice and try to get better, thank you for the suggestions""
You did say that. You also continued complaining about the same stuff like you never got any advice or suggestions.
From beginning of the thread:
"I actually wish I could refund the game because if I get punished for playing with my friends so I can learn"
"But isnt forcing baby survivors like me to go against higher skilled killers the same thing? I mean people shouldnt be punished for wanting to play with their friends or am I completely off?"
After thanking for advice and suggestions:
"I dont feel its fair for me, as a new survivor to be punished by red ranked spirits who leave everyone on the ground simply because i want to play and learn from my friends. I also dont think killers should get bullied."
3. "Sitting in custom games all night isn't fun for anyone and I can't earn blood points so I never level up and i'm still SOL."
Fair enough.
P.S. I'm glad you're improving. Sorry for the tough love.

Man sometimes I wish I could be new again. I remember actually being scared of the killer and doing my best to not get found.... ahh good times.

blame the dipshits who used to exploit the old system to bully newbie killers. sucks to be you

This game is not new comer friendly unfortunately, Your friends should of done a Kill Your Friends match too help you understand the ropes. My suggestion is watch people like Tru3 or Otzdarva for good advice on playing survivor and killer, they both really good players who love helping new people.
Also, the reason killers seem strong at low ranks is because most new people don't know how too counter them, once you know the counterplay it gets a lot easier with practice.

That's even worst then...
